This art journal page started out as Gracies MMJ Challenge. Then I realised I needed a project for the Alpha M Challenge. I had decided on my location as Margaret River, one of our winery regions here in WA.
So out came my favourite character, Ethel, and she was stamped and then inlaid with various washi tapes. She does like a cheeky wine and particularly a red LOL. To think of it, she does not mind a white or champers either LOL
I have lots of messy backgrounds in my journal which are simply leftover paint swiped on the page. I could have tidied it up a bit but I thought I am a messy crafter so let us keep it as it is. I had also used my sponging tool to add 3 circles and doodled around those.
Stencilled the stripes, fussy cut Ethel and tizzied her up as I sometimes say; added the bird, die cut bottle and wine glasses and string. More border doodling and done.
This is not a pretty page but I like the fun of it. It appeals to my sense of humour and as I love the Margaret River region it seems appropriate as this is how I sometimes am after a visit there LOL
TFL. Happy day
PS:just saw that the bird has lost its eye gem. It's now at the bottom of his nose lol. Maybe he's been with Ethel sampling the wines too lol.

I think Ethel may have one too many. She looks like she is holding the bar up at the moment. Cheeky and fun. I like the sentiment too. It gave me a giggle.
